THE ISLAND CONTINENT.
Australla's Former Connection With 1.-The
Rest OF the World"


About the beginning of the tertiary
period. inst after the chalk was all de-
posted, and just before tho compare
lively modern clays and sandstones of
the London basin began to be laid
down, an arm of the sea broke up the
connection which once subsisted be-
tween Australia and tho rest of the
world, probably by land bridge, via
Java, Sumatra, the Malay peninsula.
aud Asia generally. But how do you
know" asks the candid inquirer. "that
such connection ever existed at ALP"
Simply thus, because there are large
land mammals in Australia. Now,
large land mammals do not swim
across broad ocean. There are none
in New Zealand, none in the Azores,
none in Fiji. none in Tahiti, none in
MADEIRA. none in Teneriffe-none, in
short, in any oceanic island which
never at any time formed part Of a
great continent. How could there be.
indeed? The mammals must neccs-
sarily have got there from somewhere,
and whenever we find islands like
Britain, or Japan, or Newfoundland,
or Sicily, possessing large and abuud-
ant indigenous quadrupeds of the same
general type as adjacent continents.
we see at once that the island must
formerly have been mere peninsula,
like Italy or Nova Scotia at the pres
ent day. The very fact thar Australia
encloses large group of biggish quad
rupeds, whose ccngeners once IN
habited Europe and America, suiices
in itself to prove beyond question that
uninterrupted land communication
must once have existed between Aus.
tralia and those distant continents. -

PLEASANT REMEDIES.
An Entertaining and Successful Case Of
Mind Cure.

Speaking of the mind cure reminds
me of a case of shrewd management on
the part of q physician, who was con-
suited by patient suffering from an
aggravated case Of authors cramp.
The doctor examined the patient and
inquired into the circumstances. the re-
suit being that he became convinced
that the whole trouble was purely i'm
aginary. The young man had suddenly
been given an order for an important
work which he was most anxious to
write, but which must be finished with
in specified and rather limited time.
OF AN imaginative turn of mind and
full of fear lest something should pre-
vent him from accomplishing the work.
writer's paralysis had unluckily sug-
gested itself to his mind and the result
was complete inability to write at all.
'Ah, WE'LL" the doctor said, lit is a
pity; but the moro you fret the more
you lower the tone of your system. and
the longer it will take you to get over
it. Come over and see us tonight We
can play whist or something. You
need livening up"
The melancholy and hypochondriac
young author passed the evening at the
physician s, and % most merry evening
they had. the wife and daughters OF tho
host having been beforehand instructed
to entertain the guest to the best OF
their ability. The visitor gradually
forgot all about himself, and before the
evening was over was "a merry as a
grig. Just rs he WAS taking his leav q
the doctor said to him. as if vn the spur
of the moment:
30, before you go please write me
out the name of that French book we
were speaking of. l did not under
stand how you spelled the author S
name"
Quite unconscious of tho trap laid for
him. the guest did as requested, said
good night and took his leave. In tho
morning he received noto from the
physician, saying:
"By the way, forgot TO remark last
night after you wrote that card for me,
that there must be some mistake about
your having authors cramp."
To which tho author replied in his
own handwriting:
There was no mistake. but regret
tho speediness of my cure since your
remedies are as pleasant as they are
eHicacious. boston Letter.

ought to be praying all the time.
He was very slow to set about it.

by dint OF asslduity and dexterous
tact, his near neighbor and close
trend got him up in a prayer meet

as though he could not stop. He
prayed for the universe, the world

NO HIGH LICENSE.
Governor Hill Vetoes the Bill as Con.
trary TO the Constitution.

Albany, \. Y, April r2.-Gov-
ernor Hill sent to the assembly to-
night message ve,o,ng the recently
passed high license bill, and on mo-
ton OF Mr.. Crosby, the promoter of
the measure. 1t was LAID On the ta-
hie' The veto is put upon two
grounds: First, that it is special
legislation, because it applies only
to the cities of New York and
Brooklyn, notwithstanding the fact
that IN a majority of the other cities
and towns of the state the number
OF dram shops Is greater than in
these in proportion to population;
and second, because some of ITS
provisions are unconstitutional. The
message is accompanied by opinions
from the attorney general and from
ex-Judge Comstock, sustaining that
view.
The governor expressly reserves
an expression of his own views on
the subject of high license. but re-.
cites the positions OF the high IL
cense and prohibition advocates,
and that of the Germans on the 9th
er hand, all Of whom he pronounces
well meaning citizens. AS to the
alleged motives actuating the legls-
lature in passing the bill he says
'While the question of temperance
IS not party question and can no,
be made such, yet 1t is impossible te
ignore the political aspects of tht
measures, especially when it is wei
known that its support was mad,

A Story Of Henry Clay Dean.

Iowa Register.
Itwas not long ago. There was
car load of passengers going from
Keokuk to Des Moines. Among
them were Judge Clagett and Judge
Johnstone and Rev. l. p. Tete and
Rev. Burgess. Clagett called Rev.
l. P. Tete, "Beelzebub, jr.," and,
by some strange mental anachrosm,
dubbed Rey. Burgess as est. Paul,
ir.' However, Brother Dean was
the center of attraction. His bril-
liant conversational powers shone
out on that trip with unwonted ra-
dlance. He was telling story of
a loving brother of the strictest sect
of the orthodox faith as LAID down
by John CALVIN. Dean did not be-
lleve in Calvin any more than he
did in Martin Luther, with his i'm.
posing nonsense about the ''divlne
right of kings" l wish the scene
could be reproduced on paper as it
occurred on the tram. There was
Dean with his singularly emphatic
voice. with his wonderfully magnet
ic and twinkling gray eyes; there
were learned and famous men will.
ing listeners. He said: 'This
dear Calvinistic brother came to me
one day in great mental distress.
He said he had been reading the
daily papers and found dreadful
record of crime; here murder
there an arson, here incest, adultery
theft, betrayal of trust, lnfanticide

every kind from son to father, from
